The reason for being here from 8:45-3:45, five days a week, 175 days a year, unfolded through hours of lectures, weeks of finals, and eons of homework. Basic classes proved to be anything but basic when taught by unique teachers who had a way of making even the dullest hyper- bole fun. History courses provided insight into turmoils of the present and past, and humanities helped students to learn more about themselves, as well as, the people about them. Activities and sports were available for those who had the time and energy to devote to yet another cause. Although students often griped about having to attend classes, they soon lear- ned how to suffer through the morning in anticipation of that blessed 35 minute lunch period or the heavenly bell that rang at 3:45 signaling an end to another day at JFD.

By learning another language students become familiar with the customs and culture of other countries, therefore they are almost literally in another part of the world. According to James Hulme, department head and French teacher, more emphasis needs to be placed on students to learn a second language. Whether entering the job market or a college or university a student who knows another language seems to be placed on a priority list, enabling him to be chosen before someone who knows only English. Because of small classes and budget cuts, this was the last year for German to be taught. The class was taught by Herman Grammer, 174 Language district foreign language supervisor. Besides teaching German, also helped Hulme teach French when the class loads became Iaroe for just one teacher. Since the enrollment in Latin has creased, Richard Golenko, Latin and social studies teacher, will teaching only Latin next year for the first time in many years. Latin, French, and Spanish all went to contests and did well, the best part of the whole year, according to Hulme was when won state again. , Other teachers that helped make up the department were I Shifflet, Spanish teacher, Jacqueline Hardwick, Spanish tea and Lieu Pham, English as a second language teacher. wwf
